Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling a vehicle as well as a distance regulation control device.
  • a distance control system also known conventionally as adaptive cruise control (ACC) - is used, with which a predetermined first target following distance can be set between an own vehicle and a vehicle directly ahead.
  • ACC adaptive cruise control
  • a certain target vehicle acceleration or target vehicle speed is specified by a distance control control device of the distance control system and this target vehicle acceleration or target vehicle speed is specified via a braking system and / or a drive system of the own vehicle set in order to regulate the predetermined first target following distance.
  • the distance control device accesses ambient signals from an environment detection system located in the vehicle, in particular a radar sensor or lidar sensor, and processes them to provide current driving dynamics information with regard to the vehicle environment, for example a current actual following distance to the respective vehicle in front, to be included as a control variable of the distance control system.
  • a minimum safety distance is normally defined, which at least the driver's reaction time and the braking like of the vehicles involved.
  • a selection made by the driver eg “short”, “medium”, “long” can be included.
  • the reaction time is used to determine a first target following distance at which the driver still has a chance to brake the vehicle in time, for example in the event of an emergency braking of the vehicle in front. This reaction time can for example be set according to the so-called Cologne model.
  • a central coordinator For ferry operation in a platoon, in which two or more vehicles move coordinated in a column, a central coordinator is conventionally provided, which is located in one of the platoon's vehicles and, for example, the position and the actual following distances of the individual vehicles depending on driving dynamics parameters, for example a braking capacity, vehicle weight, etc., and distributed to the individual vehicles. Communication between the central coordinator and the individual vehicles takes place via a wireless V2X connection (V2X, vehicle-to-everything). This is used to coordinate the vehicles with one another and to transmit dynamic driving information so that the vehicles in the platoon can automatically react to one another more quickly.
  • V2X wireless V2X connection
  • the latency time for the transmission of V2X data via the V2X connection is particularly relevant for a coordinated and safe setting of the driving dynamics of the individual vehicles. Since the latency period is usually less than the driver's reaction time, the vehicles in the platoon can drive at a shorter actual following distance from one another, which means that the slipstream in particular can be used for a fuel-saving driving style without neglecting the safety aspect.
  • Such a platooning of vehicles is described by way of example in JP 2008110620 A2, JP 2010117771 A2, WO 2017/035516 A1, DE 102012212339 A1.
  • KR 20150075762 A light communication between unmanned vehicles in a platoon is further described.
  • SE 1650608 A environmental data from an environmental detection system is used to check whether a vehicle in front is suitable for forming a platoon due to its dimensions. As a result, certain target following distances are determined that must be observed between the vehicles.
  • DE 102017004741 A1 describes using the distance control system of an own vehicle via a corresponding interface to set a target following distance specified for platooning.
  • WO 2018/054518 A1 also describes using the distance control system for setting the target following distance, in particular as a function of a braking capacity of the vehicle.
  • the object of the invention is to specify a method, a distance regulating control device and an own vehicle that allow a coordinated journey of at least two vehicles in a convoy in a simple and reliable manner.
  • a method for controlling one's own vehicle with a brake system, a drive system and a distance control system is accordingly provided, the distance control system being designed is to regulate an actual following distance between the own vehicle and a preceding vehicle in front to a specified target following distance, the target following distance being specified as a function of an activated operating mode of the distance control system, wherein
  • a first target following distance as a function of a reaction time of a driver of the own vehicle
  • a second target following distance is given independently of the reaction time of the driver of the own vehicle, whereby to activate the second operating mode in a plausibility step it is checked whether V2X data is safe and reliable between the vehicle in front and the own vehicle can be exchanged or exchanged via a V2X connection.
  • a second operating mode of the distance control system can be activated in which a second target following distance is defined as the reference variable, in which the driver's reaction time is no longer taken into account, which is preferably shorter as a first target following distance.
  • the two vehicles can move in a convoy mode at shorter actual following intervals, which are set by the distance control system as a controlled variable.
  • the second operating mode with the second target following distance is only activated or permitted if it is plausibly established that a V2X connection (V2X, vehicle-to-everything) has been established between the vehicles .
  • V2X vehicle-to-everything
  • dynamic driving information that is relevant for controlling your own vehicle e.g. during emergency braking, can be exchanged via this fast transmission path and the driver's reaction time can be used when determining and setting the actual following distance.
  • the driver's reaction time can be used when determining and setting the actual following distance.
  • This has the same effect that the first target following distance is specified as a function of a fraction or a percentage of the driver's reaction time. This is synonymous with the fact that the actual reaction time of the driver is not taken into account when specifying the target following distance.
  • a V2X connection After a V2X connection has been established, it is also checked or checked for plausibility whether the vehicle in front is relevant for the distance control process at all, ie whether it is in the same lane.
  • those assigned to the vehicle in front are already transmitted via the V2X connection and are also available in the own vehicle. the global position information is used for a comparison, so that a simple check is made possible.
  • a check is also made in the plausibility check step to determine whether the actual following distance between the own vehicle and the vehicle in front remains approximately the same.
  • This makes it possible to check plausibility in a simple manner as to whether the own vehicle is moving at an approximately constant distance from the vehicle in front. This means that the intention can be derived with a high degree of probability that the driver of the own vehicle wants to drive in the slipstream and that the vehicle in front does not counteract this, for example by leaving the same lane. With further information it can thus be plausibly determined whether both vehicles, and in particular the own vehicle, want to drive in a convoy without the need for a central coordinator or a lead vehicle.
  • the information from a camera can therefore still be used for plausibility checking in order to check whether a vehicle in front that is relevant for the distance control process is present.
  • vehicle dynamics information transmitted via the V2X connection for example a target vehicle deceleration and / or an actual vehicle speed and / or a related variable, match the camera data output by the camera, and or
  • the actual following distance determined by the distance control system can be derived from the camera data determined by the camera.
  • the plausibility check step for activating the second operating mode is carried out over a plausibility check period.
  • the checks described are carried out as part of the plausibility check step over a certain period of time in order to rule out malfunctions or vehicles in front for a short time, e.g. vehicles crossing the lane, are not recognized as vehicles to be driven in a convoy.
  • the second operating mode is preferably not activated because it is not possible to reliably or plausibly determine whether the response time can be ignored .
  • a reaction time of between 0.8s and 1.5s is preferably determined as the reaction time for determining the first target following distance, the reaction time being able to be determined, for example, according to the Cologne model known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the first target following distance from a minimum safety distance which takes into account at least one reaction distance and preferably also a braking safety distance based on the braking capacity of the vehicles involved, and
  • the second target following distance follows from the minimum safety distance, which takes into account at least one latency distance and preferably also the braking safety distance based on the braking ability of the vehicles involved and does not take into account the reaction distance, wherein
  • the latency interval is determined from a latency time, taking into account the current actual speed of the own vehicle, the latency period specifying the time to transfer the V2X data between the own vehicle and the vehicle in front via the V2X connection.
  • the relevant time ie the reaction time or the latency time
  • the target following distance so that the driver or automatically from the own vehicle can react adequately to a braking situation of the vehicle in front, preferably an emergency braking situation, without causing a rear-end collision.
  • the latency time is normally shorter than the driver's reaction time
  • the second target following distance is correspondingly smaller, so that fuel-efficient ferry operation in the convoi mode can be guaranteed.
  • the second target following distance follows from a sum of the minimum safety distance at least taking into account the latency distance and without taking into account the reaction distance and an additional distance selected by the driver.
  • the respective target distance can be determined in a simple arithmetic step, with a selection of a driver also being able to be taken into account, for example according to a subdivision into “short”, “medium”, “long”.
  • the driver can thus select an additional distance that is appropriate for the current driving situation, which is then added to the respective minimum safety distance in the respective operating mode.
  • the first target following distance is compared with the second target following distance and / or the reaction time is compared with the latency period
  • the second target following distance corresponds to the first target following distance if it is determined that the second target following distance is greater than the first target following distance and / or the latency is greater than the driver's reaction time.
  • the first operating mode can also be activated automatically in this case because if the latency time is too long it can be concluded that there is an error in the V2X connection and that the V2X data is not or cannot be transmitted safely and reliably via the V2X connection. If, in accordance with one of the alternatives, the first target following distance is returned to, this is preferably communicated to the driver optically and / or acoustically and / or haptically.
  • the respective shorter target distance can be used if, in the case of long latency times and thus an unreliable V2X connection, the driver would actually intervene earlier with his reaction time than is automated with the driving dynamics information that over which V2X data would be transmitted, would be the case. In this way, a safe actual following distance can also be adjusted.
  • the plausibility check step is only permitted when an activation means is activated, the activation means being, for example, a switch arranged in the own vehicle that can be activated temporarily or permanently by the driver. Accordingly, the driver can decide for himself whether an activation of the second operating mode or a shorter actual follow-up interval should take place without taking the reaction time into account.
  • the activation means when the activation means is deactivated, the first operating mode is automatically activated or maintained. This allows you to actively determine when to switch to the first operating mode or normal distance control.
  • the driver can deactivate the second operating mode, for example by operating a brake pedal and / or an accelerator pedal.
  • the driver can also do without Deactivation of the activation means, as with normal distance controls, the second operating mode can be deactivated by actively intervening in the driving dynamics.
  • the deactivation of the second operating mode by the driver deactivates the distance control system or activates the first operating mode. The distance control is therefore completely backed up by the driver or carried out again as normal, depending on the reaction time.
  • a distance control control device is also provided in an own vehicle, in particular for carrying out the method according to the invention, the distance control control device being designed to regulate an actual following distance between the own vehicle and a preceding vehicle to a predefinable target following distance, preferably below Recourse to the environment detection system in the own vehicle, in particular on a radar sensor and / or a lidar sensor, as well as a drive system and a braking system in the own vehicle to accelerate or decelerate the own vehicle, where the target following distance depending on one of the Distance control control device activatable operating mode of the distance control system can be specified, wherein
  • a first target following distance as a function of a reaction time of a driver of the own vehicle
  • a second target following distance can be specified independently of the reaction time of the driver of the driver's vehicle, with the distance control control device being able to check in a plausibility step whether between the vehicle in front to activate the second operating mode and the own vehicle V2X data can be exchanged via a V2X connection.
  • Particularly advantageous compared to the previously known platooning concepts is the fact that the above-described approach allows columns of vehicles of any length to be set up without the need for a central coordinator or a lead vehicle. This increases the efficiency considerably compared to platoons of two, since no lead vehicles are required any more.
  • an own vehicle with a distance control system is also having a distance control control device according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows a driving situation with an own vehicle and a front vehicle
  • FIG. 2 shows a flow chart of the method according to the invention.

  • Own vehicle 1 has a distance control system 4 with a distance control control device 5, which is used to regulate the actual following distance Dlst to a predetermined target following distance DSoll.
  • the distance regulating control device 5 is designed to control a braking system 6 and / or a drive system 7 of the own vehicle 1 in order to specifically adapt the actual following distance Dlst by decelerating or accelerating the own vehicle 1.
  • the distance control control device 5 relies on an environment detection system 8 in the own vehicle 1, the environment detection system 8 generating environment signals S which characterize a vehicle environment U.
  • the environment detection system 8 can for this purpose in its simplest form, for example, a radar sensor 8a and / or a lidar sensor 8c.
